Goal

In 2022 we have continued to nurture and develop programs and adjacent initiatives launched in previous years including:

  • Hosted over 30 visiting artists from across the US
  • Held in-person receptions and events including those for the McKnight Summer Open House, the 24th Annual American Pottery Festival, and the opening reception and events related to our most recent exhibitions A Gathering: Works from ‘Contemporary Black American Ceramic Artists’ and Lisa Marie Barber
  • Increased accessibility to our classes through the Peter Leach Scholarship Fund by extending nearly 60 free or discounted classes to individuals identifying as BIPOC or in need of financial assistance
  • Successfully launched the Center’s inaugural BIPOC Studio Fellowship
  • Implemented a Studio Monitor Mentorship program to provide an avenue through which students have the ability to become more engaged with NCC and take ownership of the studio within which they work

We look forward to your continued support through our 2022 year-end campaign and into the future. We commit to strengthening our community through discourse and to building equity in the field by engaging makers at all levels from diverse cultures, traditions, and backgrounds. We are confident that with your help, NCC will remain a leading force in the field of ceramic art and a focal point for artists, learners, and educators for years to come.
